Blue bike

After an agonizing week of freezing temperatures I finally got the 650 V-strom. The test ride scared me to death….then I had to wait until Monday evening to collect the bike due to it needing to be taxed.
It is soooo diffeent to the R65. Really tall, impressive double headlight, grunty V twin. Just lovely. The second day of riding I encountered a road that was sheet ice on the way to work which was very scary but I survived.
Teacher training is being worked out…..what fun. But at the moment I am engrossed in bikeness. Waiting to hear from A guy who may have the brake pistons that fit the R65. Then what…..ride it in shitty weather or sell it and get another smaller Japanese bike for winter???
It was an honour to take Jo to visit Simon on the bike and to fetch her home again through the rain soaked streets at midnight.
